Scripting Help Request [AutoRanker Using CookieTech Group Ranking Bot]

[Nikita_Sergei]

• Hello :
  Greetings , I am a newbie scripter [I just started a few weeks ago] and I am trying to use Cookie’s Tech Group Ranking Bot , I would use it so that when a player stay longer in a game , that player would get ranked in the group. [For Example , every 5 Mins , the player would get ranked]

• Notes :

• Url / API / GroupID is correct
• No output / F9 Error
• My local minutes that is seen in code line 14 is working properly
• Cookie is alive since I can manually use the heroku link to rank.
• Heroku Logs : Nothing happen in the console log which means I forgot something (heroku is working but nothing happen with this code)

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local url = "CENSORED/group/rank"
local APIKEY = "CENSORED"
local groupId = CENSORED
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer


function rankUser(plr,role_number)
	HttpService:GetAsync(url.."?user_name="..plr.Name.."&key=".. APIKEY.."&groupid=" ..groupId.."&role_number="..role_number)
end
	
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr,role_number)

	local Minutes = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Minutes
		
		if plr:IsInGroup(groupId) and plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= 1 then 

			Minutes.Changed:Connect(function() 
				local role_number 
				if Minutes.Value >= 0 then 
					role_number=3 
				    rankUser(role_number) 
				elseif Minutes.Value >= 2 then 
					role_number=4 
				    rankUser(role_number)
				end
			end)

		end

	end)

• Requesting Help :
  I’m pretty sure that this is not working due to my lack of skill in scripting and that is why I request someone to actually tell me what I did wrong and what is missing.

This is the code you created.

#1 instead of defining “roble_number” each time just put in the number. E.g, rankUser(3).

#2 Next of all it should be: rankUser(plr, 3) .

Make sure your group is sett correctly.

Add print statements so we can detect what is happening.

[Noah]

Also try to get back data.

function rankUser(plr,role_number)
	local response = HttpService:GetAsync(url.."?user_name="..plr.Name.."&key=".. APIKEY.."&groupid=" ..groupId.."&role_number="..role_number)
    local data = HttpService:JSONDecode(response)
    print(data.Body)
end

• Thanks :
  I thank you for these advices that also helped me to understand more about functions , I added data back and it indeed worked but I found another issue.

• Explanation :
  The script would check if minute has been updated , if yes , it would check the value of Minute to change the rank , but it only check the first requirement which is “>=0” , after that it won’t check about “>=2” like the player would get ranked “rank2” to “rank3” when requirements is meet but it stay in “rank2” , should I change it to “==” instead of “>=” ?

• Codes :

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local url = "CENSORED/group/rank"
local APIKEY = "CENSORED"
local groupId = CENSORED
local plr = game.Players


function rankUser(plr,role_number)
	local response = HttpService:GetAsync(url.."?user_name="..plr.Name.."&key=".. APIKEY.."&groupid=" ..groupId.."&role_number="..role_number)
	local data = HttpService:JSONDecode(response)
	print(data.Body)
end
	
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

	local Minutes = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Minutes
		
		if plr:IsInGroup(groupId) and plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >= 1 then 

			Minutes.Changed:Connect(function() 
				if Minutes.Value >= 0 then 
				    rankUser(plr,3) 
				elseif Minutes.Value >= 2 then 
			     	rankUser(plr,4)
			    elseif Minutes.Value >= 5 then 
				    rankUser(plr,5)
				end
			end)

		end

• Logs :

• Heroku Logs : We can see that it still try to rank for the first requirements
  

  
  
  (I can give a full log if wanted)

• Additional Question : Does the cookie have to verified and uptated every “x” time or is there already something that manage to keep it alive / non-expired / uptated.

[Noah]

Cookies do expire.

Just, every 30 years.

The cookie will not be changed unless you attempt to login to the bot from your browser.

[Noah]

Maybe you could try to check if they’re already that rank & if they’re that rank then don’t rank them, but if they aren’t then rank them.

Feel free to mark your post as “Solution” if it fixes it.

[Nikita_Sergei]

I thank you for these advices , I actually found another way to fix it , but I thank you a lot for helping me.

[Noah]

What was the other way?

• Hello :
  Sorry for responding too late , my roblox account got hacked yesterday and I lost all of my robux and almost all of my game project has been stolen / deleted / taken down by roblox moderation team , I managed to keep my roblox group.

• What I Tried :
  As I said , my skill in scripting is not that good and I tried what you told me to try but without results because of my lack of skills , so I tried to try other things and I actually made the code worse but managed to make it work as I wanted .

Instead of using “elseif” , I only used a lot of “if” and tried this :

			if Minutes.Value >= 0 and Minutes.Value <= 5 then 
				    rankUser(plr,3) 
                       end
			if Minutes.Value >= 5 and Minutes.Value <= 10 then 
				    rankUser(plr,4) 
                       end

• Using this :
  I know that using this is really bad since it would make a request every time that Minutes is changed and will try to change role to user even if user already have rank : like last time , but It actually apply all requirements.
  I will improve this code and try what you told me to do when I have free time and when I will recover from losing my account.

[Noah]

Good Idea, sorry for the loss of your account.
